Override Template sub-interface in a Stack

jeremy.larsen — Tue, 30 Apr 2019 14:25:12 GMT

I am creating a template interface with several subinterfaces. IP is handled by a variable. What I am attempting to do is to override the template setting so I can add the zone in the Stack and not in the Template. This way I can create a global zone template that can be used on my stack interfaces. Here is the problem. When I override a subinterface, it deletes every other subinterface in the stack. See below.

Template

Stack before override

Stack after override

(Unfortunately) if you override a sub interface in a template stack the whole interface will be overridden and everything configured on this physical interface will be deleted and only the configuration in the stack is applied - this means you cannot override a single sub interface...

My problem is that I can only override a single subinterface. The rest get deleted in terms of the stack. I have a ticket open and it sounds like this is a known issue. I will update this thread once I get confirmation. If this doesn't work, it defeats the purpose of having stack overrides if you have more than 1 subinterface (kinda the point of subinterfaces).

So far I thought this is a limitation and not an issue ... great if there is a chance that this will be fixed (without a feature request)

This appears to be fixed in 9.0.1! I don't know about 9.0 as I skipped it during the upgrade from 8.1.7. I sure hope this gets fixed in the 8.1 code train as I'm not ready to run my PROD environment on 9.0 yet.

It seems that this has yet to be fixed even in 8.1.12
